This song is dedicated to my best friend, who's moving to the States on Saturday for good. Ahem...

I've heard it said

That people come into our lives for a reason

And they help us most to grow

If we let them, and we help them in return

Now I don't know if I believe that's true

But I know I'm who I am today, because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit, as it passes the sun

Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better

Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.

It well may be

That we may never meet again in this lifetime

So let me say before we part,

So much of me is made from what I've learned from you

You'll be with me, like a handprint on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine

By being my friend

Like a ship blown from its mooring, by a wind of the sea

Like a seed dropped by a skybird, in a distant wood

Who can say if I've been changed for the better

Because I knew you, I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air,

I ask forgiveness

From the things I've done you blamed me for

But then I guess, we know there's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit,

(Oh like a ship blown from its mooring)

As it passes the sun

(By a wind of the sea)

Like a stream that meets a boulder in a distant wood

(Like a seed dropped by a bird in the wood)

Who can say if I've been changed for the better

Because I knew you, I have been changed

For good

For Good- Wicked the musical
